Where There’s Smoke is a weekly podcast that explores self-development through the filter of current events, pop culture, and experience. We surf the zeitgeist through an array of audio clips, quotes, concepts, and conversations.

In the spirit of The Daily Show and This American Life, we throw everything into an audio centrifuge that separates “what” from “why”. You walk away with insights and actionable solutions to improve your business, relationships, and almost any area of your life.

It’s the Season 3 premiere and Brett and Nick are asking: “Is
stress really THAT bad?”

To help them unpack this question they are joined by health
psychologist and lecturer at Stanford University, Kelly McGonigal.
Kelly’s most recent book is The Upside of Stress: Why Stress Is
Good for You, and How to Get Good At It.

Brett and Nick ask:

What if everything you know about stress is but a fraction of
the story?

What if the science you know about stress is just a story?

And what does any of this have to do with rodents and Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles? Find out in this episode.
